The small screen is filled with characters who embody extreme wealth and privilege, leaving viewers underwhelmed. The transformation of iconic female characters like Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City into Gilded Age archetypes feels out of place. The show And Just Like That struggles to convey meaningful drama, relying on outdated storylines and trivial issues. Characters like Charlotte, Miranda, Lisa, and Seema are stuck in a state of numbness, fixated on superficial concerns such as dog cancellations, reality TV, and fundraising events for their husbands’ campaigns. This depiction of wealth feels hollow, serving only to reinforce the idea that money can insulate individuals from real problems.
